Pretty! And, it is in Big Blue's color. But, he came with a Coverlay cover which will suffice once it is painted. So, I'll pass. But thanks!

That sure is pretty, but I just restored mine. It now looks new, glorious and has a nice soft rubbery touch.

Blue is my colour too. I'd rather restore mine to match when I revive the rest of the interior. How are bids stacking up when the seller is willing to place it face down on a broken concrete pad??

Yeah, would be interested to know what steps you took for restoration. DIY or did you farm it out? Got pics?

$405! Plus $65ish shipping. You can have a new repro for that or less.

How does the Dennis Carpenter dash pad compare, it's $400, well under what this will go for. I'm considering getting one for mine at some point.

I have a blue one in pretty decent shape that I will sell for much less than $400.

I pressed in Hilti expanding foam to fill in the holes and cracks using cardboard as a press, sanded it and filled in the gaps with bondo. I then sanded the entire dash. I used duplicolor spray on bed liner on the dashboard. It dries with a nice OEMish looking texture and it has a nice rubbery touch. I'll post some pics tomorrow.
